Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Corn tortillas (8)
- Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
- Bell peppers (red, yellow, or green) (2, diced)
- Zucchini (1 medium, diced)
- Red onion (1 small, diced)
- Mushrooms (button or cremini) (1 cup, sliced)
- Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
- Cumin (1 teaspoon)
- Chili powder (1 teaspoon)
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- Avocado (1, sliced)
- Fresh cilantro (1/4 cup, chopped)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil until shimmering.
- Add the diced bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté the vegetables for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the spices to toast and coat the vegetables evenly.
- While the vegetables are cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or wrap them in foil and place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
- To assemble the tacos, spoon the cooked vegetable mixture onto each warm tortilla.
- Top each taco with slices of avocado and a generous sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
- Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
